Apple’s Studio Display 6 weeks on – still making me HAPPY ?
I have been using the much maligned Studio Display every day for just under two months…here are my thoughts. What’s all the fuss about The Apple Studio Display rarely causes an ambivalent reaction.

The European Union vs Apple….EU 2 – Apple 0. BIG Euro law changes hitting Apple hard!
Apple spends millions of dollars every year lobbying to try to get their way… but it doesn’t always work out… One battle lost I bet, when you read the title to this blog, and saw ‘European Union’, your thoughts would have immediately gone to the long argued USB-C port on iPhone, and that would be […]

One month with AirPods Pro
Are AirPods Pro worth the change? I had always enjoyed my AirPods 1st Gen. They were the one item in my Apple arsenal, that would be used every day. They were now two years old, and I fancied trading up to AirPods Pro. If that sounds familiar, then read on. It happened by luck I […]
Studio Display & MacBook Pro – a match made in heaven
the MacBook Pro and Studio display are perfect partners You can have fish without chips, but who would? You could have gin without tonic, but it’s unthinkable. You could have jam on a scone without cream. You get my point, just because you can opt to have one of them without the other, does not […]
